I'm now scribbling on the back of an envelope to figure how much fabric I'd need...

You would need 5 yards of fabric

Wonderful! What a beautiful kilt Robert!

Chrystel did a terrific job on it! She deserves a standing-o!

Thank You all for those kind and encouraging comments.
This week, Chrystel will be working on an original tie-on jabot.

Robert

That is amazing! Now I have to save up for the trip to France, fabric, French Box Pleat kilt, Custom Jacket, oh my........

That kilt is amazing! Beautifully layered and amazingly complex, but it is subtle and modest about its complexity. I'm stunned.

Also, where did you take those photos? You look like you're in a museum!

Thank you all.

Lady Chrystel, even though holder of a diploma in Haute Couture, is not a "traditional" kiltmaker in the sense used in this Forum. Nevertheless, she is very professional and would enjoy making Double Box Pleat kilts for those of you who would like to have them.
The elegant way for those, at this point, would be to get the fabric shipped directly to our house in France. The cost for the making would then be of $200. + shipping (registered oversea mail.)

best,
Robert
